  • Volunteer Weekend is one of the most joyful traditions at Shadowcliff. Each year, new and returning friends come together to prepare the lodge for another season of healing, growth, community, contemplation, and transformation.

    Anyone who is willing to work hard and help where needed is welcome. Shadowcliff has a lot of stairs and uneven ground, so anyone with mobility concerns should take that into consideration.

    We’re so grateful you’re considering joining us.

  • Volunteer weekend is Friday, May 22nd to Sunday, May 24th. All volunteers need to check out no later than 10am on Monday, May 26th. You are welcome to stay past that point at our regular seasonal rates, and we hope you do! If you are planning to stay please reserve your additional days with Gail (admin@shadowcliff.org).

    If you are interested in supporting Shadowcliff with special projects taking place earlier in May, please contact our General Manager, Dan O'Neil (operations@shadowcliff.org) with the skills you have to offer and the dates you are available, and he will reach out to confirm.
